Charge your watch

A fully-charged Versa 4 has a battery life of 6+ days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

To charge Versa 4:

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the watch until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable align with the port on the back of your watch.

Charge Versa 4 for 12 minutes for 24 hours of battery life. While the watch is charging, tap the screen twice or press the button to turn the screen on. Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours.

Wear Versa 4

Wear Versa 4 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band, or if you purchased another band, see the instructions in “Change the band”.

Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise

When you’re not exercising, wear Versa 4 a finger’s width above your wrist bone.

In general, it’s always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by removing your watch for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend removing your watch while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing your watch, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your watch and may cause skin irritation.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

• During workouts, try moving the band higher on your wrist to get a better fit. If you experience any discomfort, loosen the band, and if it persists, give your wrist a break by taking it off.
• Wear your watch on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device is in contact with your skin.

Fasten the band

1. Place Versa 4 around your wrist.
2. Slide the bottom band through the first loop in the top band.
3. Tighten the band until it fits comfortably, and press the peg through one of the holes in the band. If you use one of the last two holes in the smaller band, we recommend swapping to the larger band for a more secure fit. For instructions, see “Change the band” on the facing page.
4. Slide the loose end of the band through the second loop until it lies flat on your wrist. Make sure the band isn’t too tight. Wear the band loosely enough that it can move back and forth on your wrist.

Wear and care tips

• Clean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
• If your watch gets wet, remove it and dry it completely after your activity.
• Take your watch off from time to time.
• If you notice skin irritation, remove your watch and contact customer support. For more information, see fitbit.com/productcare.

Change the band

Versa 4 comes with a small band attached and an additional large bottom band in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold separately on fitbit.com.

Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Sense 2, and Fitbit Versa 3 bands are compatible with Versa 4.

Remove a band

1. Turn over Versa 4 and find the band latches.
2. To release the latch, slide the flat button toward the band.
3. Gently pull the band away from the watch to release it.
4. Repeat on the other side.

Attach a band

Track a daily activity goal.

Versa 4 tracks your progress toward a daily activity goal of your choice. When you reach your goal, your watch vibrates and shows a celebration.

Choose a goal

Set a goal to help you get started on your health and fitness journey. To begin, your goal is to take 10,000 steps per day. Choose to change the number of steps or pick a different activity goal depending on your device.

Track progress toward your goal on Versa 4.

Track your hourly activity.

Versa 4 helps you stay active throughout the day by keeping track of when you’re stationary and reminding you to move.

Reminders nudge you to walk at least 250 steps each hour. You feel a vibration and see a reminder on your screen at 10 minutes before the hour if you haven’t walked 250 steps. When you meet the 250-step goal after receiving the reminder, you feel a second vibration and see a congratulatory message.

Track your sleep

Wear Versa 4 to bed to automatically track basic stats about your sleep, including your time asleep, sleep stages (time spent in REM, light sleep, and deep sleep), and sleep score (the quality of your sleep).

Versa 4 also tracks your estimated oxygen variation throughout the night to help you uncover potential breathing disturbances, as well as your skin temperature to see how it varies from your personal baseline and SpO2 levels, which estimate the amount of oxygen in your blood.

To see your sleep stats, sync your watch when you wake up and check the Fitbit app or swipe left or right from your clock face to find the Sleep tile.

Set a sleep goal

To start, you have a sleep goal of 8 hours of sleep per night. Customize this goal to meet your needs.

Troubleshooting

If Versa 4 isn’t working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below.

Heart-rate signal missing

Versa 4 continuously tracks your heart rate while you’re exercising and throughout the day. If the heart-rate sensor on your watch has difficulty detecting a signal, dashed lines appear.

If your watch doesn’t detect a heart-rate signal, make sure you’re wearing your watch correctly, either by moving it higher or lower on your wrist or by tightening or loosening the band. Versa 4 should be in contact with your skin. After holding your arm still and straight for a short time, you should see your heart rate again.

GPS signal missing

Environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forests, steep hills, and thick cloud cover, can interfere with your watch’s ability to connect to GPS satellites. If your watch is searching for a GPS signal during an exercise, you’ll see the GPS icon rotating at the top of the screen.

For best results, wait for Versa 4 to find the signal before you start your workout.

If Versa 4 loses the GPS signal during your workout, the GPS icon appears red. Your watch will attempt to reconnect.

Other issues

If you experience any of the following issues, restart your watch:

• Won’t sync
• Won’t respond to taps, swipes, or button presses
• Won’t track steps or other data
• Won’t show notifications
